This report contains statistics of 1,076 universities, colleges, and professional schools for the school year ending in June, 1928. Of this number, 226, are under public control and 850 are under private control. Included in these two groups are 176 schools of theology, 136 schools of law, 73 schools of medicine, 41 schools of dentistry, 66 schools of pharmacy, 8 schools of osteopathy, and 10 schools of veterinary medicine. Statistics of teachers colleges which are not a part of a university are not included in this report, but are included with other teacher training institutions in a separate report. In 1926, reports were received from 975 institutions. The organization of 95 new junior colleges during the biennium accounts for most of the increase in numbers over 1926. (Contains 31 tables.)
